Across the globe. The now, the question is, whether the president will make good on that Campaign Promise here or could he change his mind like he changed his mind on nafta, not repudiating more like fixing it, a few moments ago saying he doesnt want to reestablish the israel in jerusalem, more like the present location in tel aviv. He is open to being flexible on this subject. And the devil is in the details. Whether he will find a middle ground on all of this. He is being pressured on both sides.
